Book Review - The Happiness Show by Catherine Deveney
Lizzie is a quintessential Aussie backpacker , ie loud, brash, funny and irreverent when she meets Tom on the Trans Siberian Railroad. They connect but their ways part and Tom returns to England. Deveney is strongest in showing how the relationship develops and how their shared sense of humour underpins their sexual attraction. Years later after they have both established and happy relationships including children, they meet and discover that sparks still fly and they have unfinished business. Neither of them can stop thinking about the other and wanting them. There is nothing new in this story but Deveney shows a sure hand and unflinching honesty in depicting the various relationships that propel the narrative. Wendy

Do not give tetracyclines to infants or children 8 years of age and younger unless directed by your doctor. Tetracyclines may cause permanently discolored teeth and other problems in patients in these age groups.
Tetracyclines should be taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water to prevent irritation of the esophagus (tube between the throat and stomach) or stomach. In addition, most tetracyclines (except doxycycline and minocycline) are best taken on an empty stomach (either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals).

London (CNN) — Pakistani teen activist Malala Yousufzai was in stable condition at a British hospital on Sunday after undergoing surgeries to repair her skull and help her hearing, officials said.
"Both operations were a success and Malala is now recovering in hospital. Her medical team are 'very pleased' with the progress she has made so far," the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham said in a statement. "She is awake and talking to staff and members of her family."
Saturday's five-hour surgeries were the latest step on a long road to recovery for Malala, who was shot in the head and neck by Taliban gunmen in October for speaking out in favor of education for Pakistani girls.
Last week doctors said they would use a titanium plate to cover an opening in her skull, and give her a cochlear implant to partially restore hearing in her left ear.
The plate was necessary to replace a section of her skull about the size of a hand, which doctors removed to relieve swelling after the shooting. And the inner ear implant will restore some function to her damaged ear, doctors said last week.
The 15-year-old became an international symbol of courage after she was shot by Taliban gunmen last fall for her crusade about girls going to school.
She had blogged fearlessly about girls' education and accused the Taliban of thriving on ignorance. The Taliban forbid girls in the classroom and have threatened to kill anyone who defies them.
Malala was in a school van on October 9 when the gunmen stopped the vehicle and shot her at point-blank range.
She was flown to the British hospital six days later.
Doctors there discharged her last month, and she has been recovering with her family at a temporary home nearby. Her father, who had been an educator in Pakistan, is now employed at the Pakistani Consulate in Birmingham.
On Sunday, officials said Malala would remain hospitalized until she is well enough to be discharged.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- At least 289 people were killed in a fire that swept through a garment factory overnight in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, a local official said Wednesday.
The toll from the fire, which continued to burn Wednesday, is expected to rise, Commissioner Roshan Ali Shaikh, Karachi's top administrative official, said in a phone interview with CNN affiliate Geo TV.
A child is among the dead, and at least 25 people have been injured, said Zakir Khan of the Karachi Fire Department. All the victims were employees of the factory, he said.
Firefighters were trying to bring the blaze under control, Khan said, but their task was made more difficult because they couldn't enter several portions of the weakened building.
The building might collapse any time because the fire heavily damaged parts of its steel structure, said Mustafa Jamal, a senior government official in Baldia Town, the area of Karachi where the factory is situated.
Dozens of people may be trapped in the basement of the building, according to Khan. An operation is under way to try to rescue them.
Jamal said between 400 and 500 people were in the factory as the fire burned. Several trapped workers jumped from upper floors.
Video broadcast by Geo TV showed large crowds of anxious people outside the smoldering building. And through windows and holes of the factory's scorched outer walls, the footage showed glimpses of flames still flickering within.
Officials say they don't know the cause of the fire.
Journalists Nasir Habib in Islamabad and Aamir Iqbal in Peshawar, Pakistan; and CNN's Jethro Mullen in Hong Kong contributed to this report.

A major business is looking to lease space on the Maine State Pier
Name of company not revealed
Portland City Councilor Nick Mavadones, chairman of the city's housing and economic development committee, has confirmed to News 8 that a major business is looking to lease space on the Maine State Pier.
While Mavadones would not reveal the name of the company, he said it's not currently located in Portland, so its addition to the waterfront would bring new jobs and new revenue to the city.
Mavadones also said talks are moving along and an announcement could be made in the near future.
According to reports, the business is looking to lease as much as 10,000 square feet in the building that currently houses Ready Seafood.
Mavadones said, "Certainly the businesses that are in there are very important and they bring a lot to the economy, Ready Brothers and potentially this new business. They're certainly not the scale we were looking at five or six years ago however, it is a statement that this is a site that will generate business."
In 2007 the Maine State Pier was at the center of a major redevelopment proposal which would have included a hotel and office space. However, the company chosen to proceed with the work, Ocean Properties, later backed out.

"Oooh yeah!" We're remembering Macho Man Randy Savage's seven world championships, his showmanship, and his fantastically flashy costumes.
May 20, 2011 was a sad day for wrestling fans – that was the day "Macho Man" Randy Savage died of injuries sustained in a car accident.
Savage, who would have turned 60 today, Nov. 15, 2012, was a beloved star of WWF and WCW wrestling, known for his seven world championships, his signature "Oooh yeah!" catchphrase and, of course, his fantastically flashy costumes.
In the ring Savage – a second-generation wrestler whose father, Angelo Poffo, was a favorite in the 1950s and '60s – was an intense athlete and showman. He wrestled with and against some of pro wrestling's other great names, exciting his fans with big matchups… like his match against the massive Andre the Giant:
As fans of wrestling know, a rivalry can turn to a partnership (and turn right back again). So it was with Randy Savage and another superstar of the wrestling world, Hulk Hogan.
In his early days Savage wrestled Hogan – clearly not pulling any punches – at Madison Square Garden, but not long after Macho Man's victory, the two set aside their rivalry and because friends and tag-team partners. They formed The Mega Powers team and dominated the wrestling world in the late 1980s.
The friendship wouldn't last, due in part to Hogan's overly obvious attention toward Savage's then-wife and wrestling personality, Miss Elizabeth. Tensions were beginning to simmer by the end of the decade, when Savage appeared in this promo (which demonstrates that he was more than just a great wrestler – he was also a pretty funny guy).
The Mega Powers dissolved, but Savage continued to dominate the ring through his early-1991 retirement… and on through his late-1991 return to the sport. New rivalries were formed – one notable feud was with Ric Flair, who did further damage to Savage's marriage by publicly claiming he had an affair with Savage's wife. The real-life tension was reflected in the ring. (While you enjoy the theatrics in this Flair-Savage match, don't miss Savage's signature entry song, an amped version of "Pomp and Circumstance.")
Savage continued to wrestle through the 1990s and into the 2000s. But by the mid-'90s, he was starting to branch out of the wrestling world as well. He took movie roles, notably in Spider-Man as wrestler Bonesaw McGraw. He guest starred in television shows such as Baywatch and Walker, Texas Ranger. He lent his legendary gruff voice to animated series like King of the Hill, Family Guy and others. And perhaps most famous was his commercial work for Slim Jim.
In the wake of Savage's death, the wrestling world mourned. Hulk Hogan reacted immediately, stating, "I'm completely devastated, after over 10 years of not talking with Randy, we've finally started to talk and communicate. He had so much life in his eyes and in his spirit, I just pray that he's happy and in a better place and we miss him." Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson also tweeted an early response: "RIP Randy 'Macho Man' Savage – you were one of my childhood inspirations and heros. Strength, love and prayers to the Savage/Poffo family."
Savage's fans miss him as much as his friends and colleagues. But we can still watch him doing what he did best.

Y'ulz, this is a srs post. Sometimes I feel, when am driving my Bugatti thru the streets of 'the most beautiful city in the world' (Gardens), that there are beggars 'fucking everywhere'. Think I am kind of over winding down my window BEFORE they approach 2 tell them 2 'lean on some other car like that Polo'. FFS y'ulle.
And as if having to 'decline stealing from myself 2 give 2 the poor' on a daily basis is not painful enough, some beggar walked up to my window on facebook 2day (via an internal fbook email) and begged for me to 'just go to this page and scroll down to the photo of the yam and like it, but don't open the photo and like the photo, just like the link or it wont count as a vote, so I can win a free yamboat'.
Y'ulle can imagine my reply.
No, y'ulle actually can't because I used a word I made up.
I said:
"Fangbags! Did u rly just send me this??????? H8 u."
Srsly. Are there beggars 'fucking everywhere'? Gonna write my next pro-bono article for the Big Issue about the beggar endemic. Have 'had it in chunks'. What are y'ulz feelings about this topical issue? Has our social networking society 'gone 2 the dogs tonight'? is fbook 'the new Zim'?

Spinalonga is an arid and barren rocky islet with an area of 8.5 hectares lying at the mouth of the natural port of Elounda in the Lasithi prefecture of Crete. Due to its strategic location, it was fortified and served a variety of roles and purposes over the centuries.
"Spinalonga. She played with the word rolling it around her tongue like an olive stone. The island lay directly ahead and as the boat approached the great Venetian fortification which fronted the sea […]. This, she speculated, might be a place where history was still warm, not stone cold, where the inhabitants were really not mythical"....
... as Victoria Hislop wrote in her best-selling book "The Island".
Here, on an island where lepers from Crete and the rest of Greece had been kept in isolation until 1957, a story about love and pain, separation and fear was born.
Although it is small and known as the island of the outcasts, Spinalonga has a rather interesting story to tell. The island forms a natural defence "mechanism" for Elounda harbour, and in 1579 the Venetians built a mighty fortress here on the ruins of an ancient acropolis. The Venetians kept control of the island even after the rest of Crete fell to the Ottomans in 1669 and it remained under their control for almost another half a century until its capitulation in 1715. Today thousands of tourists visit Spinalonga by boat from Ayios Nikolaos, Elounda and Plaka each summer as it is the most popular archaeological site in Crete after Knossos.
A walk around Spinalonga –with some of the finest views of the clear blue waters that surround the island– will guide you through the pages of the novel. Strolling around the island takes about an hour, but the serenity of the place and the remnants of its recent history will certainly tempt you into spending much longer. A left turn by the old town hall takes you down to the beautiful seafront; take advantage of the opportunity to take some time for a swim here.
Getting there
Take the boat from Ayios Nikolaos, Elounda or Plaka. As well as the trip to Spinalonga you can also enjoy a swim off the beaches behind the Kolokytha Peninsula, before returning to Ayios Nikolaos in the afternoon.
Getting to Ayios Nikolaos
By ferry from Piraeus. Ayios Nikolaos has boasted a large harbour since ancient times. The city of Heraklion is quite close to Ayios Nikolaos, so you can take the plane or ferry to Heraklion and then head towards Ayios Nikolaos by bus, taxi, your own vehicle, or rent a car. Ayios Nikolaos is only an hour's drive away along the north road axis of the island. You can reach the town from the other main cities of Crete, such as Hania (about 3-3.5 hours' drive), or Rethymno (app. 2.5 hours' drive).

Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction
(Colonic Ileus; Ogilvie's Syndrome; Acute Colonic Pseudo-obstruction; Acute Nontoxic Megacolon)
In intestinal pseudo-obstruction, foods and liquids are unable to pass through the intestine, causing a build-up of food, fluid, and gas in all or part of the colon. The symptoms of this condition acts like a mechanical bowel obstruction]]> , but no blockage is found when doctors examine the intestine.
The Intestines
Intestinal pseudo-obstruction is caused by problems with the muscles and nerves of the intestine.
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. The following factors are thought to increase the risk of developing intestinal pseudo-obstruction:
- Surgery
- Abdominal hemorrhage
- Intestinal ischemia (insufficient blood supply to the digestive system)
- Inflammation (eg, infection)
- Trauma]]>
- ]]>Stroke]]>
- Metabolic problems
- Fluid overload (eg, ]]>congestive heart failure]]> )
- Other medical illnesses associated with pain
- Some medications
Symptoms of intestinal pseudo-obstruction may include:
- Cramps
- Stomach pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Bloating
- Reduction in bowel movements
- Loose stools
- Bladder problems
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. Other tests may include:
- Abdominal X-rays]]> —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body
- ]]>Abdominal CT scan]]> —a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make pictures of structures inside the body
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include:
Nutritional Support
Intravenous (IV) feeding may be necessary to help prevent malnutrition.
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help prevent bacterial infections due to your condition. In addition, medications can be used to treat muscle problems in the intestines. Changes in your medications to eliminate some medications that can slow recovery from, or worsen, this condition.
In severe cases of intestinal pseudo-obstruction, surgery to remove part or your entire intestine may be necessary.
If the colon does not resume normal function after conservative management, the pressure build-up in the colon can be relieved by removing the trapped air with a colonoscope]]> .
Many cases of intestinal pseudo-obstruction cannot be prevented. But certain measures can be taken after surgery to help avoid the complication of intestinal pseudo-obstruction. These measures include:
- Early oral feeding
- Gum chewing
- Fluid restriction
- Medications that inhibit opioid receptors
- Beta-blockers

The history of Imathia is lost in the depth of past centuries and is connected with all aspects of Greek History.
Human facilities appear from prehistoric times. In Nea Nikomidia settlement is one of the oldest Neolithic settlements in Europe (6.000 B.C.).
On the foot of Pieria mountain chain, in the place of current VERGINA, AEGES - the capital of MACEDONIA and the Royal Necropolis were built. The Royal Tombs of Vergina, FILIPPOS tomb and their unique findings are without a doubt monuments of international value.
Several very important Macedonian tombs were also found in Lefkadion area, in the Municipality of Anthemion where 3 of the most important tomb monuments Kriseos Tomb, Lisonos and Kallikleous Tomb and Anthemion Tomb are still preserved. In the same area visitors can see ancient MIEZA and ARISTOTLE ACADEMY, where Alexander the Great was taught by the philosopher.
During Roman times the area flourished and Veria became base of "the Priory of Macedonians" and a religious center. In 54A.D. Apostle Pavlos preached in Veria the new Christian faith, where you can still see the "Podium" (the place he talked from).
During the Byzantine period the area flourished. From that period various Churches (48 in total) are preserved with amazing frescos-hagiographies, most of which are kept in the city's Byzantine museum. Many examples of Macedonian folk architecture are also still preserved in Kiriotissa and Barbouta traditional districts of the city. At the same time flourishes and Naousa becoming center of handicraft and at a later stage of industry, important examples of these eras are still preserved.

Malcolm Shabazz
a maternal grandson the name-sake of Malcolm X, reveals the true colors of the Northern California-based Saba Islamic Center of San Jose and Fatimiyya Islamic Center of Hayward: Hezbollah is a helpful organization and the hanging of Blacks from trees is the reason as to why White Christians hang ornaments on Christmas trees!
Shabazz was brutally murdered on May 9, 2013, in a bar in Mexico City while he was drinking beer in the company of Miguel Suarez. The latter is a deportee from the United States and the leader of RUMEC -- a construction company and labor rights organization based in San Jose, CA.

Fewer ads could signal Suttle's defeat
Voters will cast their ballots in Omaha's city election in just four days and the mayoral candidates are shelling out a lot of cash to try to sway votes. But a political analyst said it may be too little, too late for Mayor Jim Suttle.
KETV NewsWatch 7's Ryan Luby investigated if last-minute campaigning will make a difference.
As of Friday, since April's primary election, both campaigns have spent more than $300,000 on advertising alone. According to reports, Mayor Jim Suttle has spent $146,000 on ads since the primary while his opponent, Councilwoman Jean Stothert, has spent $166,000.
"That's not a good sign for an incumbent," said Dr. Paul Landow with the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
Landow said incumbent mayors are typically better-funded.
Landow also said that Suttle's campaign should have aired campaign ads immediately after the primary to compete with Stothert's campaign that did.
"Your opponent can gain a tremendous advantage during that period of time because you're letting them define you," Landow said.
Workers at the Suttle campaign disputed that argument and said election day will tell the real story.
"I think it's going to be close," said Aida Amoura, spokesperson for the Suttle campaign.
Amoura said advertisement dollars only matter so much and that Suttle's campaign ad buyers have been selective on what ad space they buy and when they buy it. Their plan is to stockpile resources until the last week.
"They're really focusing the television ads in putting them out there when they believe people are listening," Amoura said.
Stothert's campaign believes voters have been listening for months, which is why voters have seen her ads for so long.
"I think it's about trying to take our case to the voters," said Ryan Horn, Stothert's campaign manager.
Although Landow thinks Stothert will come out strong in numbers, he says predictions do have their pitfalls.
"It's politics, and it's elections, and anything can happen," Landow said.
The general election is May 14. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

- Java Garbage Collection
- Objective-C Retain/Release
- etain Count
- The autorelease pool
- Conclusion
I have been developing Java applications since the mid-1990s, and my primary focus was J2EE applications for large U.S. corporations. About two years ago, I migrated my entire family away from Windows operating systems to Apple's OS X. Recently I started working with Apple's Cocoa APIs and Objective-C.
This article is the first in a series detailing some of the more important differences between Java and Objective-C. If you have been interested in Cocoa and are coming from Java or another managed language, this compare-and-contrast might be helpful.
The merits of the various types of memory management notwithstanding, Java and Objective-C imply two different systems to manage memory. Java's system is completely autonomous and is not easily directed by the developer. Objective-C's system, however, is much more manual and requires direct attention from the developer during the creation of the source code.
Java Garbage Collection
Java employs an automatic garbage collection system to manage memory inside the virtual machine. This garbage collection is handled via reference counting. Each instance/object inside of the virtual machine has a reference count. When that reference count reaches zero, the object is "garbage," and should be removed and its memory released.
As a Java application runs, the garbage collector runs in the background on its own thread. Periodically throughout the life of the Java application, the collector will look through all of the objects and see if any of them have a reference count of zero. It is at this point that the objects are removed from the virtual machine and their memory is released.
Note that this memory release does not occur as soon as the object loses all its references—it occurs at some future point. This can cause some issues with Java applications because garbage collection can be heavy on CPU consumption and cause stalls in an application.

In a new post to his blog Alexey Zakhlestin talks about the "rebirth" of the XSLCache extension for PHP, this time as a PECL module.
XSLCache extension for PHP, originally developed by NYTimes started its second life in PECL's repository and I am proud to announce first PECL-release. The XSL Cache extension is a modification of PHP's standard XSL extension that caches the parsed XSL stylesheet representation between sessions for 2.5x boost in performance for sites that repeatedly apply the same transform.
It works with the normal XSL extension with some small differences around which classname to use and a change to the importStylesheet function.

Due to current health and safety measures, all wineries are accepting visitors by appointment only
Nichelini Family Winery is proud to be one of the pioneers of Napa Valley's modern wine industry. In 1884, travelling on horseback, homesteaders Anton and Caterina Nichelini became the first Swiss settlers in Napa County's Chiles Valley. They quickly set about planting vines and olive trees, and by 1895 had constructed a hand-hewn stone winery with a seven-bedroom house above it. This would provide a home for the Nichelinis and their eventual 12 children.
The winery, original Roman wine press and house still stand today and have remained in our family's hands for more than 130 years, making us the oldest continously operated, family-owned winery in Napa County. Our motto is "Generation to Generation" and, to date, five generations of Nichelinis have passed on their winemaking knowledge as well as their traditions of hard work and careful craftsmanship. We strive to produce truly world-class, American wines that exhibit finesse, simplicity, and individuality.
We pride ourselves in making small batches of great wine. Our old-fashioned attention to detail is complemented by our investment in the latest winemaking and processing equipment and the technical rigor of our expert winemaker. And of course we no longer use the old redwood fermenters of our forefathers, replacing them with stainless steel tanks with cooling jackets. Our barrels are top-grade French and American oak.
But that's not all that makes our wines so exceptional. The grapes are grown on family land in the idyllic Chiles Valley, once known as the "High Valley", lying 600 to 800 feet above the Napa Valley floor. Tucked away in the hills, the vines benefit from the unique terroir, with its high-altitude breezes, milder climate, and extended growing period.
Nichelini classics include our internationally acclaimed award winning Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Petite Sirah and Muscadelle de Bordelais (formerly titled Sauvignon Vert). In addition, there are limited releases available only at the winery.
The current head winemaker, 5th generation Aimée Sunseri says, "Throughout your life, you should never stop trying to make your family proud".
Taste the difference 130 years make.
Plan a trip to Nichelini Family Winery on our interactive winery map:
Family Friendly Winery
Picnic area available
During the warm-weather months, our tasting room is located outside. It overlooks the hills and is right in front of the stone cellar that Anton Nichelini built and completed in 1895. Overhead is a huge Roman lever wine press that was used to crush our grapes from 1895 to 1955. We believe it is one of only two left standing in North America.Music in Tasting Room: An eclectic mix of jazz, blues and classics.

Splash Car Wash in Wilton has partnered with Wash Away Thirst, a national campaign launched last month to provide clean drinking water to 500 million people in need worldwide. Splash Wilton joins over 80 independent car wash operators across the country to "Wash Away Thirst" by donating one gallon of clean drinking water for every car washed through June 2012.
Approximately one billion people in the world do not have access to clean drinking water. An estimated 80% of sickness and disease in developing nations is attributed to unsafe drinking water causing 42,000 deaths every week. Wash Away Thirst works in partnership with Wasrag – Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group – which was formed by Rotary International in 2007 to solve the global water & sanitation challenge.
In addition to the Wilton location, Splash Car Wash locations throughout New Haven, Fairfield and Upper Westchester counties are also participating. Since the onset of the campaign, all 17 Splash locations together have provided more than 150,000 gallons of clean drinking water to the needy in underdeveloped nations.
"As responsible car wash operators, we're all keenly aware of the need to conserve water and protect the environments around us. Wash Away Thirst gives us the chance to further those efforts and contribute to the worthy cause of providing clean water to those in need," said Splash Car Wash co-founder and CEO Mark Curtis. "We're thrilled to support the cause and provide our customers with an opportunity to make a global impact."
Wash Away Thirst is just one part of Splash Car Wash's dedication to give back. Since its first fundraising event in 1985, Splash has raised more than 1.5 million dollars for many local organizations, charities and associations throughout Connecticut and New York. Splash responds to requests from more than 400 charitable organizations each year and has worked with many of them for more than a decade.
Splash Car Wash is celebrating its 30th year in business and currently employs more than 500 people and washes more than one million cars each year. Splash car care services include: Hand Wash, Express Wash, Five Star Detailing and Lube and Oil Change. For a complete list of car care services and more information please visit www.splashcarwashes.com.

is the sensor Canon or Casio?
Canon's latest premium consumer cameras take on the smartphone by joining with it rather than continuing to fight, building in an easier Wi-Fi connection setup process as well as social media compatibility as their most outstanding new features. Though Wi-Fi is not new to the S series, Canon says the PowerShot S120 is easier to connect to cell phones and computers. Wi-Fi is new to the G16, though, which could be a welcome addition as smartphone users come around to wanting a little more from their pictures. Neither camera supports NFC (near-field communication), however, which would allow easy touch-to-connect functionality. Both iOS and Android are supported by Canon's CameraWindow app.
Jump to:
Canon's latest flagship enthusiast digital camera is mostly unchanged both outside and in, with the exception of its DIGIC 6 processor and Wi-Fi. Its fast F1.8 – 2.8 lens ranges from 28-140mm equivalents, allowing the retention of fast shutter speeds in low light, and its DIGIC 6 processor joins with the 12.1MP CMOS sensor, a combination Canon says will allow for better image quality in low light. Canon also says autofocus and shutter lag should be up to 50% faster with the G16.
Design-wise, the Canon G16 has a few new accents, with a more subtle curve to the grip and a harder edge around the top deck; otherwise, the look and feel is essentially the same. The G16 retains the front control dial, which is welcome for those shooting in Manual or semi-auto modes, as well as the increasingly rare optical viewfinder. Note that the lens ring on the G16 does not turn like the ring on the S120, but comes off to make room for accessory lenses.
The customizable shortcut button (marked with an S) moves from the left of the optical viewfinder to just under the movie record button on the right thumbgrip. A few buttons also change position on the back control cluster, with the metering mode button disappearing altogether. An EV compensation thumbdial juts out from the top deck of the camera just right of the optical viewfinder. The rear dial surrounding the control cluster complements the front dial, the pair allowing SLR-like control of aperture and shutter speed.
Other upgrades include a faster frame rate, which starts at 12.2 fps for the first six frames before dropping to 9.3 fps for up to 522 shots (when using a UHS-1 memory card, according to Canon). Full HD video is now available up to 1080 60p (up from 30p), with stereo audio mics and HDMI built in as before. Star Nightscape and Star Trails modes now allow capture of a field of stars in a landscape night scene, or star trails, using a longer exposure.
The Canon G16 is expected to ship in October 2013 for $550.
The main change to the PowerShot S120 is the slight increase to the maximum aperture, which now ranges from F1.8-5.7 instead of F2.0-5.9. This change addresses the fact that most other cameras in this category start at F1.8. Faster autofocus is listed as another feature worth noting, Canon claiming up to 50% improvement in shutter lag and AF speed.
The S120 still has the ring around the lens for a more mechanical feel when making adjustments. Rather than using an electronic motor as past S-series cameras did, the pop-up flash is now deployed via a sliding switch on the left side of the camera. A small Wi-Fi symbol sits below that, denoting its built-in Wi-Fi support.
Controls on the rear of the S120 are unchanged, and the LCD remains a capacitive touchscreen. The Canon S120 is also slightly larger than its predecessor, measuring 100 x 59 x 29mm rather than 99 x 59 x 27mm. Its frame rate has also improved to 12.1 fps for the first six frames and 9.4 fps for the remaining 635 shots with a UHS-1 SDHC/SDXC card. The Canon S120 now supports 1080 60p Full HD as well, with stereo mics and HDMI out.
The PowerShot S120 will ship in October 2013 for $450.
New Advanced Point-and-Shoot Lineup Includes the PowerShot G16, S120 and SX510 HS with Built-In Wi-Fi® and the New PowerShot SX170 IS Offers a Long Zoom in a Compact Camera Body
MELVILLE, N.Y., August 22, 2013 – Adding to its trademark line of esteemed digital cameras, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced the release of four new feature-packed PowerShot digital cameras: the PowerShot G16, PowerShot S120, PowerShot SX510 HS and PowerShot SX170 IS. Designed to help photo enthusiasts create high-quality images and videos, these cameras feature advanced DIGIC imaging technology to deliver superb image quality in portable, compact digital camera bodies. In addition, all four models have the ability to achieve faster autofocusing speeds than was possible with previous PowerShot models. The PowerShot G16 and S120 also feature the new Star mode to help users capture the brilliance of a starry night sky, while the new Background Defocus mode allows users to soften the background of their images for a portraiture look.
For the connected photographer, the PowerShot G16, S120 and SX510 HS digital cameras come with built-in Wi-Fi® technology that allows for outstanding quality images and video files to be wirelessly transferred from the camera to social networking sites through CANON iMAGE GATEWAY#, to a PC, or users can upload images to virtually anywhere on their compatible iOS® or Android™ device* with the download of the free Canon CameraWindow app**. The Wi-Fi® setup process has been improved by Canon, making it easier than ever for users to initially setup these cameras. Software no longer needs to be installed onto a user's computer, so all initial setup can be accomplished from the user's smart device or computer, allowing for easy photo sharing on-the-go. Images can also be printed wirelessly using Wireless PictBridgei on select printers, including the Canon PIXMA MG7120 or PIXMA MG5520 Wireless Photo All-In-One printers, so special moments can be preserved and cherished for years to come.
"At Canon we are continually inspired to introduce the latest technological advancements to the PowerShot line of digital cameras," said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A. "Although smartphone camera popularity is continually increasing, the PowerShot line of cameras offers features such as advanced image sensors, high-quality optics, low-light capabilities and extremely fast autofocusing speeds that, when combined, are unrivaled by smartphone technology."
PowerShot G16 Digital Camera
The PowerShot G16 digital camera builds upon the success of the PowerShot G15 by utilizing some of Canon's most innovative technologies. The first PowerShot in the G-series to come equipped with built-in Wi-Fi® technology, the G16 has the ability to share images and video to social networking sites such as Facebook®, Twitter®, YouTube®, and Flickr® or via email through the use of CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. Users can also upload images from almost anywhere via their compatible iOS® or Android™ device with the download of the free Canon CameraWindow app.
The PowerShot G16 features a 28-140mm wide-angle lens with an aperture range of f/1.8 – f/2.8, which helps while shooting in low-light conditions or for users who want to create a dramatic shallow depth-of-field with soft backgrounds. The G16 is equipped with Canon's HS System, which combines a DIGIC 6 image processor and a 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS image sensor, allowing for enhanced low-light image quality.
With improved AF times and reduced shooting lag over previous G-series models, the advancements to Canon's AF system help ensure users never miss a shot. Continuous shooting speeds of up to 9.3 frames-per-second are possible with the PowerShot G16, allowing users to capture images in full resolution as they happen***. The G16 also captures 1080p/60p Full HD video, and includes a built-in stereo microphone and an HDMI output so users have the ability to view videos on their HDTV.
The PowerShot G16 also features new shooting modes to capture breathtaking images day or night. The new Star mode gives users the ability to capture the brilliance and wonder of the night sky through the use of three scene modes. "Star Nightscape" lets users shoot the radiance of stars in a landscape image, while the "Star Trails" mode captures trails of stars to turn them into a luminous still image. "Star Time Lapse Movie" captures continuous still images of the stars and then combines each to create a stunning video replicating the motion of the stars in the night sky.
In addition, the camera's creative handheld HDR Scene mode automatically combines multiple shots of a scene to help create an image with a greater dynamic range without the necessity for a tripod. HDR Scene mode includes Natural, Art Bold, Art Embossed, Art Standard and Art Vivid options.
For photographers who want the convenience and ease-of-use of a compact camera with the feel of a DSLR, the PowerShot G16 features dials and controls similar to those on Canon's EOS Digital SLR cameras. It is also compatible with Canon Speedlite flashes and select accessories.
The PowerShot G16 is scheduled to be available in October 2013 for an estimated retail price of $549.99.
PowerShot S120 Digital Camera
Succeeding the PowerShot S110, the pocket-sized PowerShot S120 digital camera continues the tradition of built-in Wi-Fi® technology that allows for images and video to be shared to social networking sites or via email through the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. Users can also download the free Canon CameraWindow app to their compatible iOS® or Android™ device and upload images from virtually anywhere.
The PowerShot S120 features a sharp 24-120mm extra-wide angle lens with an aperture range of f/1.8-f/5.7. It is equipped with Canon's HS System, which combines a DIGIC 6 image processor and a 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS image sensor allowing for enhanced low-light image quality. The advancements to Canon's AF system allow users to achieve significantly faster autofocusing speeds. The S120 allows for continuous capture of up to 12.1 frames per secondii at 12.1-megapixels. The camera also records 1080p/60p Full HD video and includes a built-in stereo microphone and convenient playback via HDMI output.
Multiple creative shot modes such as the new Star mode, Background Defocus mode, and handheld HDR Scene mode give users the ability to create images they will be proud to share. Smart AUTO technology selects 58 different pre-defined scenes without the need to switch modes, making it possible to take beautiful images in a variety of situations.
The PowerShot S120 is scheduled be available in October 2013 for an estimated retail price of $449.99.

Few know the ins and outs of being a key part of the storage industry without selling a single disk drive or array. But Cisco does. Cisco, known for its industry-leading networking and communications solutions, has used its fast-growing Cisco UCS server business to turn itself into one of the key players in the storage market.
Cisco has strategic relationships with the storage industry's top three independent vendors, giving its Cisco UCS server offering a huge boost in its competition with full systems vendors such as Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Oracle.
It also has more recently formed partnerships with a number of smaller storage vendors, often for a specific offering such as virtual desktop infrastructure. Come with CRN on a tour of the relationships that have made Cisco a storage force to be reckoned with.
For a closer look at Cisco's stake in VCE and storage, see a preview of our exclusive report, "For Cisco, Is VCE Just A Stopover On The Way To The Cloud?" The full article is available exclusively in the CRN Tech News app.

Tift Merritt is the restless sort. You can read it in her lyrics, yearning, deep-rooted narratives about moving around and moving on, often alone. You can hear it in her music, which rests comfortably within many genres without settling for any. And you can detect it in her voice during a recent phone conversation, as she humors an interviewer by responding to his routine questions with short, precise answers between spoonfuls of soup.
Born in Texas and raised in North Carolina, the singer-songwriter has spent the past five years living in New York, following a six-month expatriation in France. She is no stranger to forwarding addresses. "The road is my home as much as anywhere," says Merritt, who will play a solo concert Sunday, April 7, at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
Debuting in 2002 with the statement-making, neo-country album "Bramble Rose," Merritt has released seven albums since, two of them live and two of them within the past six months: October's solo effort "Traveling Alone" and March's "Night," a bracingly beautiful collaboration with the classical pianist Simone Dinnerstein. A tour with Dinnerstein will return Merritt to Florida, where she recalls opening for Elvis Costello in 2005 at Miami Beach's Jackie Gleason Theater (now the Fillmore). She'll leave Dinnerstein in Tampa to fly to Fort Lauderdale, rejoining her on April 11 in Minneapolis. Having played Miami only three months ago, the pianist decided it was too soon to return to the area.
"I'm traveling alone," Merritt says, immediately catching the reference and, with a laugh, repeating, "I'm traveling alone to the Broward Center."
The appearance should provide a survey of Merritt's career, which began with commercial backing by Universal Records' Lost Highway imprint and found her years later recording "Traveling Alone" with no label attached and no manager guiding — or attempting to guide — her way. Coincidence or not, the album clears an already high bar set by Merritt's earlier work, particularly 2010's "See You on the Moon." Not for nothing is Merritt's numinous voice often compared to that of Emmylou Harris, and the renegade streak running through her discography suggest she's logged some serious hours listening to Bob Dylan.
"I think, by nature, when you have a lot of people involved, things get more complicated. I have a pretty specific vision, so I like seeing that through," Merritt says. "I like doing what I want to do." She pauses to emphasize her next point. "But I also like having a team of loving and supportive people around me. So there you go."
Merritt found an unexpected ally in Dinnerstein, when, in 2008, the British publication Gramophone brought them together for an interview. Even though she admits to not being a student of classical music ("of course, I think it's beautiful, but I know nothing"), Merritt says she saw in the pianist someone who could challenge her artistically but also complement her professionally. The idea of a long-term collaboration took hold in January 2011, after Duke University invited the musicians to participate in a brief residency, which culminated in a pair of concerts they titled "Night."
The resulting album of the same name signals not just a new direction for Merritt, but also a honing of her talent. As tranquil as its title suggests, "Night" arrives quietly, with Merritt's stark "Only in Songs" tiptoeing into Franz Schubert's "Night and Dreams." It's followed by Billie Holiday's "Don't Explain," Bach's "Prelude in B Minor" and songs written expressly for the album by folksinger Patty Griffin, jazz pianist Brad Mehldau and Merritt. While collaborations among artists of disparate genres (see: Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga; Lou Reed and Metallica) have become common, "Night" is no standard duets album. Fear that it would turn into one gripped Merritt in the years leading up to its recording.
"I honestly resisted doing this, because I thought so much could go wrong. I was just a huge fan of the depth with which she plays, the care that she gives to every single note," Merritt says. "And Duke University actually gave us the time and the space and the means to put something together. It just started as, 'We'll put a concert together and see what happens.' Then, it worked really well, and we decided to record it. It was a very natural process. I mean it was not, 'Hey, let's make a record, and let's figure this out.' It was years of working together."
Merritt and Dinnerstein recorded the album in five days, and "Night" bears an intimate, moment-in-time quality, making the listener feel as if he were eavesdropping on a private conversation. This is not to suggest the album sounds remote. For all their apparent musical differences — Dinnerstein is a Juilliard graduate; Merritt is self-taught — the pair never seem to favor technique over substance, an impression Merritt confirms.
"Rock 'n' roll is kind of an unspoken aesthetic," she says. "You can't explain sometimes why something works and something doesn't, because it's all feel. So you try to surround yourself with people who see that the same way that you do, who kind of are available to the very intense one minute and the very laid-back the next. I didn't know how Simone and I would find that place. For me, doing anything practical felt very weird to me. On one hand, I wanted to be myself and do right by my own sweet spot, per se. But then, on the other hand, I didn't want to let Simone down or do wrong by a piece of music that I wanted to honor, and I just didn't have the vocabulary or the instincts to know whether I was doing a good job with that. So I had to completely trust Simone and say, 'Is this OK?' "

WASHINGTON (AP) — Joyous, bouncing teammates waiting to greet him at home, the red-clad crowd raucous as can be, Jayson Werth yanked off his red batting helmet with two hands and thrust it a dozen or more feet overhead.
A little less than two years ago, the Washington Nationals showered Werth with millions, persuading him to come show them how to win. On Thursday night, with one swing of his black bat, Werth delivered a game-ending homer to extend his club's surprising season and wipe away whatever disappointments marred his days in D.C.
Werth led off the bottom of the ninth inning with a 13-pitch at-bat against reliever Lance Lynn that ended with the ball landing beyond the wall in left field, giving the Nationals a tense 2-1 victory over the defending World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals and forcing a deciding Game 5 in their NL division series.
"That's the way that game should have ended: Jayson Werth hitting a home run," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He has not hit that many this year. ... Unbelievable. Great effort on his part."
The best-of-five series will end Friday night in Washington, with the winner advancing to face the San Francisco Giants in the NL championship series. The starters will provide a rematch of Game 1, which Washington won, with Gio Gonzalez on the mound for the NL East champion Nationals, and Adam Wainwright for the wild-card Cardinals.
"It's what you play all season for, and what you work out all winter for, and what you get to spring training early for," Werth said. "We have a chance tomorrow to take that next step. I know my teammates will be ready. And the city will, too."
The homer was Werth's first of the series, the 14th of his postseason career. He won the 2008 World Series and a string of division titles with the Philadelphia Phillies, then moved to Washington before last season as a free agent on a $126 million, seven-year contract that stunned much of baseball.
He managed to hit only five homers and 31 RBIs in 2012, missing 75 games because of a broken left wrist. Last year, his first in Washington, Werth hit only .232 with 58 RBIs, and there was grumbling about his worth.
That vanished at dusk Thursday, when Werth circled the bases, raising his right index finger in a "No. 1" gesture, while the announced attendance of 44,392 roared, and the other Nationals raced out of their dugout to greet him.
"I'm just happy that these fans got to see it, because obviously he had a rough year last year, and he got hurt this year, and I don't think the fans realize how good of a player Jason is," Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "For him to have a moment like this in front of the home fans, and in front of this atmosphere, I couldn't be happier for him. He deserves it."
Werth's arrival certainly coincided with a quick turnaround: The Nationals lost 100 games in 2008 and 2009, but led the majors with 98 wins this year.
"When I signed here, my first day here, I went to a Capitals game, a hockey game, (and) the place was packed. Somebody said, 'Just a few short years ago, this place was empty.' So I knew that a winning ballclub would bring the fans," Werth said, "and here we are, two years later, and they're showing up and it's awesome."
Werth's shot provided a sudden end to a classic postseason contest filled with tremendous pitching. Each team managed only three hits.
Lynn, usually a starter for St. Louis but a reliever in these playoffs, was making his third appearance of this series.
"Heater. He beat me," Lynn said, then paused before continuing. "I've had success this series with him, and, you know, everyone in the stadium knew what I was throwing there."
Especially Werth.
"It was just a matter of time," Lynn added. "I was challenging him, and he was up for it."
The righty was the Cardinals' third pitcher — facing only one batter — and manager Mike Matheny was asked afterward why he didn't use closer Jason Motte.
"If we were at home, it would have been a very easy decision to bring in Motte," Matheny said, explaining that if he used up his closer and St. Louis went ahead later in the game, a reliever not used to getting a save would have needed to try.
"Had a lot of confidence in Lance. He came in throwing the ball well," Matheny added. "Werth just put together a very good at-bat."
Cardinals batters decidedly did not down the stretch. They made eight consecutive outs via strikeouts against three Nationals pitchers — Jordan Zimmermann, Tyler Clippard and Drew Storen, who threw the top of the ninth and got the win. Zimmermann was making the first relief appearance of his career.
"All of them were throwing harder than I've seen them throw," Johnson said.
Storen walked No. 8 hitter Pete Kozma with two outs, before getting pinch hitter Matt Carpenter out on a twisting, stumbling overhead catch by shortstop Ian Desmond, who wound up sliding on his belly in short left field. When Desmond rose, he threw the ball into the stands and yelled.
Moments later, Werth had all the towel-twirling spectators yelling, too, thanks to the way he turned on a 96 mph fastball. For much of the game, the hometown fans were rather quiet, perhaps dreading a sooner-than-expected end to their team's better-than-expected year.
Starters Kyle Lohse, who won the wild-card playoff game for St. Louis against Atlanta last week, and Ross Detwiler were both superb. Lohse lasted seven innings, allowing one run and two hits. Detwiler went six, with one unearned run and three hits all he conceded, and called Werth's homer, "One of the best moments of my life."
Lohse was replaced by Mitchell Boggs, who struck out pinch hitter Chad Tracy with a man on to end the eighth, before giving way to Lynn.
While nearly to a man — except, naturally, for Werth — the young Nationals are new to this sort of thing, the Cardinals have quite the postseason pedigree: Over the past two years, St. Louis is 5-0 in games where it faces elimination, including must-have victories in Games 6 and 7 of the 2011 World Series against the Texas Rangers.
"We got a lot of experience, a lot of confidence built. Just going to the World Series and winning the World Series, having to play a Game 7 and come out on top — you're seeing a lot of us use that experience so far in this postseason," St. Louis first baseman Allen Craig said.
Washington entered Game 4 with all sorts of problems at the plate in the series: 3 for 24 with runners in scoring position, 30 men left on base, a total of only seven runs. Despite those struggles, Johnson didn't make any changes at all to his lineup.
As it turned out, the Nationals didn't have an at-bat with anyone in scoring position all game. Both runs came on solo shots.
Cleanup hitter Adam LaRoche put Washington ahead 1-0 in the second, and the Cardinals tied it in the next inning without a hit. Detwiler walked Kozma — a rookie Johnson referred to as "Cosmos" before the game — and after a sacrifice bunt, Jon Jay reached on an error when Desmond booted a grounder. Carlos Beltran's sac fly scored Kozma.
No more scoring until the ninth, when Werth ended things.
A night earlier, Werth watched on TV as Raul Ibanez — his former Phillies teammate, now with the Yankees — pinch-hit for Alex Rodriguez in the bottom of the ninth and homered to tie an ALDS game against the Orioles, then went deep again in the 12th to win it. He traded texts with his buddy Ibanez.
Werth also tuned in to see Oakland rally to beat Detroit on Wednesday after trailing entering the ninth.
"Baseball, this time of year, is the best time for sports. I love October baseball," Werth said. "Here we are a day later, and I got an opportunity and came through."
Which means Werth — and the Nationals — get to keep playing.
NOTES: Nationals rookie Bryce Harper was hitless in three at-bats, leaving him 1 for 18 in the series. ... In Game 3 on Wednesday, Cardinals RHP Chris Carpenter became only the second starting pitcher in baseball history to win a postseason game after not having any wins during the regular season, according to STATS LLC.

Ambitious high growth entrepreneurs should spend at least 3 days of their official working week living in the customer's world. Viewing the market place from the desk is extremely dangerous, being immersed within your industry and the needs of your customers provides real-time market intelligence. This helps to tailor propositions specifically to the wants and needs of your market place; it also supports new product and service development. Gazelles companies create a massive gap between them and their competitors because they deploy innovation and imagination to problems, this inspires and very often leads to development and evolution of propositions that the customer didn't even know they wanted! They occupy uncontested space. Others will soon start to copy and replicate – your job is to stay one step ahead of the game.
High growth businesses we have studied stay close to their key stakeholders. More specifically, they spend time
- Looking at the factors that impact their customer's performance – this provides opportunities to provide new solutions
- Understanding their customers strategy – this facilitates a partnership working model
- Looking at how they can help improve efficiencies, reduce costs and enhance performance.
Getting close to the market helps to drive what I term "customer lock in" – that phase of the supplier/customer relationship were there is a true partnership, mutual respect and a genuine win-win. Moving to lock in can absorb an enormous amount of time effort and energy, however the rewards can be big. It also makes it very difficult for competitors to move in and occupy your space. Being embedded means any new entrant would have to untangle lots of relationships, systems and processes to get a foothold. A word of caution – never take relationships for granted and be aware of performance vs. KPIs. Customer complacency represents a real danger zone for businesses. Lock in delivers true competitive advantage.

Another module for the International Space Station leaves Turin
A new pressurised module for the International Space Station leaves Turin airport for Amsterdam today, on board the huge Airbus Beluga, the transport vehicle used for exceptional loads.
Like its predecessors the logistics modules Leonardo, Raffaello and Donatello, this new module has been built by the Italian company Alenia Spazio, which is part of Finmeccanica.
This mechanical model of the cargo carrier of the Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV), known as the STM/Maquette Dynamique, is being developed under an ESA programme led by the French company EADS Launch Vehicles. Once the module arrives at ESA's laboratories at ESTEC in the Netherlands, it will be integrated with the rest of the ATV and prepared for the structural and thermal tests that will be carried out between the end of this year and next summer.
Alenia Spazio has direct responsibility for the cargo carrier, the forward half of the ATV which contains mechanisms for attachment to the International Space Station (ISS), further fuel supplies for attitude control, and water and air for the crew. It will also carry onboard various supplies such as spare clothes and space suits, equipment and food.
The ATV - a type of space 'lorry' weighing over 20 tonnes at launch - will be injected into space by an Ariane-5 launcher in 2007. It has been designed to fly unmanned and dock to the space station automatically. After the in-orbit docking, astronauts will enter the ATV compartment built by Alenia Spazio to unload provisions and load waste material from the ISS. This will then be eliminated in a destructive re-entry approximately six months later.
Prior to re-entry the ATV will carry out an important manoeuvre: the 're-boost' to push the ISS back to its maximum orbit of between 360 and 420 km. This process has to be carried out periodically to make up for the gradual decrease in the height of the station's orbit. Alenia Spazio is expected to produce 7 ATVs flight units for the ISS operations planned to take place between 2007 and 2012.
The Italian company's significant contribution to the ISS will continue at its Turin site with the integration and development of other key elements needed for the ISS. These include the European laboratory Columbus, the two interconnecting nodes 2 and 3, and the pressurised Cupola.
Alenia Spazio is also in the study and definition phase for the CRV minishuttle, the ISS 'lifeboat' as well as the Habitation module that will become the final ISS residential quarters. These new projects were recently assigned to Alenia Spazio under an agreement between NASA and the Italian Space Agency ASI.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Off topic but I guess that's what this section of the forum is for.
I'm planning a trip over to beautiful British Columbia in March for my birthday
I know a few of you are local ish, anyone got recommendations for a place to stay? For Whistler, don't want to be too far out of town, not because we're crazy kids but growing up riding in France we do like a bit of apres but mainly for eating out. We'd rather self catered as I don't eat dairy, wheat, gluten or anything processed (yes I know one of those) not fussed if hotel or apartment. No pull out beds though, seen a few 4star hotels with them
Vancouver. No idea where to stay, we want to go there at the end of the trip for a couple night to chill and see what the city is like, not just see the airport. I also want to see a Canucks game, decent meal out and do something cultural. How well connected is the city? We're in London now so got the underground, busses and cabs galore. Want to impress the girlfriend so that she re thinks our decision, leaving the alps for London and maybe we should go to B.C, taking the Coupe with me.
Dates are March 4th - 14th
Whistler and Vancouver holiday.
No worries. Post here to your hearts content

Near a developing city in south-central Philippines is a peculiar little town called Abkasa. It is cut off from the rest of the main city by a single dusty road that is narrow and very bumpy, a couple of kilometers (about 1.25 miles) through tall sugarcane.
When it rains, it is almost impossible to pass through this road. In Abkasa is a well-known church — Abkasa Baptist Conference Church — which is one of our church partners. Senior Pastor Gil has this to say about their church:
"Because of [our partnership with Compassion], many people have received help, many children and their parents have been changed. The community respects us. They desire to also be included in our programs. The community recognizes what we can do and how we can help."
Abkasa stands for "Ang Bagong Katimimban Settlers Association" (The New Katimimban Settlers Association). Abkasa was established as a community in 1985 and was founded by one of the church leaders of the Abkasa Baptist Conference Church.
The first settlers came from different squatter communities within the main city. They were granted land from across a wide sugarcane plantation.
In that same year, 1985, this Baptist church began to partner with our ministry.
Once a local church in a field county partners with Compassion, a student center or child development center is formed.
The center is where the children of Abkasa participate in the Child Sponsorship Program and where they regularly come for weekly activities including school tutorials, medical checkups, lectures, play, nutritious food and discipleship, and other activities the church partner initiates.
Help Families Affected BY COVID-19
Families in poverty have no safety net in times of crisis. Help provide food, medical care and support during this pandemic.
We now have more than 300 church partners in the Philippines where more than 53,000 children are registered.
In 2006 we took on another partnership in Abkasa for the Child Survival Program. Children enter the Child Survival Program as newborns and participate through the age of three. Then they graduate to the Child Sponsorship Program.
Today the senior pastor and his leaders are thankful for a third ministry program, the Church-to-Church program. In the Church-to-Church program, a church partner from one of our Global Partnership Alliance countries directly works with an implementing church partner in the field.
The Abkasa Baptist Conference Church is now engaged in a Church-to-Church relationship with the Bayside Church in Australia.
A number of members at Bayside Church are sponsoring children in the Abkasa Baptist Conference Church through the God's Special Gift Student Center. There are now more than 200 children registered and sponsored at this student center.
Pastor Gil shares,
"We are thankful for our Church–to-Church partnership. This is just starting, but we have already seen a big impact not only to our church, but to our community. They are able to see how God is moving in this community."
The student center director, Daphne, states,
"We were surprised to learn about Church–to-Church. We were delightfully surprised because we knew that it could help more families in our community."
Through the Church–to-Church partnership with Bayside Church in Australia, this tiny church in Abkasa is now constructing a health and sanitation center, which includes toilets and abundant running water.
"This has always been my dream. That the children can come here from school to wash their feet from walking a long way on the dusty road or to use the toilet. But our toilets were not very sanitary.
Today, we are building a sanitation center, and I am very happy about it. Thanks to the Church–to-Church program and to Bayside Church, one of my dreams as the center director has come true."
Recently, the pastor of Bayside Church and 19 church members came to visit Abkasa; most of them came to see their sponsored children. They were greeted outside the church by little children waving Philippine and Australian flags under the scorching noontime sun.
Inside the church were 40 Child Survival Program mothers, some pregnant and some carrying their infants. It was truly a coming together of partners separated by miles and miles of sea and land.
Bayside Church and Abkasa Baptist Conference Church spent an afternoon singing, praying, and sharing stories and tears. It was a very emotional fellowship.
The visiting pastor checked the ongoing construction, but the highlight of the afternoon was when sponsors met sponsored children in their homes. A couple of homes were 30 minutes away on foot through endless rows of sugarcane.
According to Pastor Claro and other church leaders, the community health center, public schools, and local government all recognize the significant impact of the church in the community. Pastor Claro and some other church leaders are regularly invited to speak and lead the prayer in community activities.
Pastor Claro shares,
"We are really thankful because this is a big help, not only to the children and to their parents, but also to the community and the church. Because these children grow in their years at the child development center and because of the interventions that we do for them, many of them have come to know the Lord."
Regarding the Church-to-Church program, Pastor Claro adds,
"In one way or another, we are helping to fulfill the Great Commission that was given to us by God. And we are thankful, because through this partnership we are not only blessed, but we are able to fulfill what the Lord wants us to do as a church. And our partner church (Bayside Church) is able to see how God is moving in this community.
We are happy because through this program that Compassion initiated, we now have a church that is partnering with us, that is praying for us, supporting us, and comforting us.
We now know that we are not alone in the ministry. On behalf of our church, the community, the recipients, the mothers and our members, thank you very much, Compassion."
